Family Time… Girls Only.

Girl time is important, isn’t it? Spending even an hour of time with family, friends, acquaintances (or with other women) can refuel you in ways nothing else really can.

When traveling to Orlando for a little family get together, my sister-in-law (who is like a true sister to me) came up with a brilliant idea! My niece Keenie was flying in early that Friday morning, so my other niece Amy, my niece-in-law Maryam, Joanne P., and I decided we would all go to the airport to pick up Keenie and then head off somewhere all together.

We did exactly that. We found a quaint restaurant called La Madeleine not far from Joanne and my brother Packer’s house.

It was delightful! They happened to have a little private dining room where we ate our delicious breakfast.

A few had mimosas and omelets. I opted for a little soup and sandwich. There happens to be a La Madeleine in Rockwall so Rick and I definitely need to check it out.

What was more important than the items on the menu was this special time we had together, just the girls. When we have family get together, what we would consider small probably wouldn’t seem that way for most people. It is rare to have the girls get together, but I’m really in favor of doing this when our family gathers for a casual reunion.

I think even if you can’t get together in person there are other ways to get some tribe time. I have a closed group on Facebook of all woman sharing recipes and sometimes just sharing life… I treasure it.

I hope all of you girls that might be reading this either have recently enjoyed time with a few women or have a date penciled in to be together soon.

The power of women togetherness is nothing less than…well, powerful.
